(10/18) After a discussion with my CT I came up with two possible units for each content area. My CT uses the topics listed in Cmapp to plan her units. I looked at the site and found the units that correspond with my time at the school. I looked at the ideas and suggestions listed and came up with my own themes. The topics and themes I put an star by are the ones I would like to peruse. I feel that I could do a lot with these topics. I plan on discussion these with my CT and working out the details. Social Studies
Unit 10: Industrialism, Nationalism, Imperialism
Social/Political evolutions associated with new technology
Unit 11: The World at War*
Possible Themes: Violence and War*
Language Arts
Unit 4: You say you want a revolution?
Possible Themes: Literary devices used to enhance conflict
Unit 5: Singled out*

(10/25) I have not been able to narrow down my ideas for units with my teacher. We are preparing to work on my lesson for this semester because my school tracks out very soon. I will be there on Monday, when we plan to decide what I will be doing more concretely. At that time I will post on here my concept map and I will begin to formulate my lists.
